Nikon D90

Best Price: $1,187.00

from www.amazon.com
you will never be able to move the camera out of range without insane levels of care to keep your subject exactly in the distance from were your pre-focused it.
from www.amazon.com
the 18-105mm lens is great for indoor/close up shooting, the 300mm works well for distance.
from www.amazon.com
these cameras have lower sitting lenses due to the fact that, they do not have as much of a distance to cover to prevent lens shadow (they ship with smaller lenses in their kits)
from www.amazon.com
so, it's really only good for subjects that remain at the same distance and aren't moving too much.
from www.amazon.com
- i didn't think that would be the problem, but i miss that manual focus window that shows distance.

Nikon D40

Best Price: $588.00

from "Scott", www.bhphotovideo.com
we are seeing that the 18-55mm lens doesn't get us close enough for people at any distance so we will need a longer lens but we expected to need one anyway so that's ok.
from www.bestbuy.com
the megapixels are more than enough and seem to have been quality than my sd850, however i would definently recommend buying a better lens if you plan on taking any action photos from a distance.
from www.bestbuy.com
no distance shots, light sensitivity at a minimal, and movement with the slilghtest hand movement.i needed the feel of a real camera in my hands that i could be sure was steady.

my grandson stated t-ball this past year and the old coolpix was just not good enough for distance and fast paced action.
